Back to the Garden: Still Blooming

Let's just pretend August didn't happen, OK? I didn't lift a finger in the garden, and it shows it. I've been coasting all year, and eventually it will start to show.

But I'm coasting from a good place, and I've got a lot of stuff blooming. The view from the corner isn't that impressive.


But the close-ups and vignettes tell a different story.

Balloon Flower
Black Eyed Susans - I don't remember planting these!
Goldenrods with Verbena bonerensis in the background. All volunteers.
Sunflower
Pink Turtleheads
The chewed-on pink turtleheads are very typical of the wilted and motheaten look of my garden. I'm actually pleased to find out the turtleheads are appetizing to somebody. They are a critical food to a number of beautiful butterflies, and a large part of why I planted them is to be dinner in a time of need.
